Vietnam Studies
The 2013 Vietnam Studies Program has been cancelled.
Discover Vietnam
Discover Vietnam, from its largest cities to its smallest villages, from the Holy See of the Cao Dai religion in Tay Ninh to ancient Cham relics at My Son, from the rainforests and pristine beaches of Cat Ba Island to forgotten places where young Americans and Vietnamese once fought for their lives. Learn from the source; your teachers are monks, war veterans, Vietnamese professors, artists, students, farmers and villagers. Visit the vestiges of the terrible 25-year war that brought the United States to Vietnam, and consider the war from a variety of American and Vietnamese perspectives.
